The Strathmore Municipal Library currently houses a collection of nearly 40000 books, magazines, music CDs, audiobooks, and movies. There are nine computers and free wireless Internet access for use by any resident of the town and surrounding area. Our membership in the Marigold Library System and The Regional Automation Consortium (TRAC) allows our patrons to easily access the collections of over 150 libraries throughout Alberta, downloadable eBooks and audiobooks, and dozens of online databases. The library's participation in the RISE Project allows videoconferencing between over 70 libraries in southern Alberta and the ability to connect to people all over the globe.
